Linear Programming: The Farmer Problem, Part I

This is the first part of a two-part video explaining how to use Microsoft Excel to solve linear programming problems. This video has been specifically designed for the students who take my Operations Research and/or Management Science Models classes. It deals with the first linear programming example we study in class, the famous farmer problem.
